Ixtaco Taqueria, El Monte CA

Dry burrito no flavor no taste.over priced. Customer service was poor. I got more chips than I did meat.lol

The tacos are good but a taco can’t be great without a good salsa. All the salsas they offer suck and don’t pair well with their tacos.

I ordered pescado and Korean BBQ tacos, pollo quesadilla Mexicana with strawberry pina agua fresca. Everything was very good. I especially loved the char on the chicken. Agua fresca was just the right level of sweetness for me.

Had really yummy Avocado tacos and tried the impossible asada burrito (vegan/vegetarian) with fries on the side. The portions are very generous and DELICIOUS! There are a few seating options and a restroom available. Service was great too

Ixtaco has become one of my favorite taquerias in the area despite it being higher in price than others. You get what you pay for! My go-to protein is the KBBQ bulgogi and duck (secret menu), but you really can’t go wrong with any of the options. There usually is a bit of a wait as they cook everything fresh and this place is usually busy.

Ixtaco is slow and meticulous new style taco. I went during Happy Hour, M-Thurs 4: 20-7: 10 all tacos 20% off. Ordered the al tocino (crispy pancetta), scallop, clam tacos potato tacos. The service was family friendly, but slightly slow probably due to the happy hour. The al tocino was super crispy and full of flavor, but too salty. All the marisco tacos are wonderful and perfectly fried and grilled. The potato tacos has multi-flavor and texture of crunchiness, soft fluffy potatoes, creamy sauce and freshness of the cabbage. My recommendation is go for any of the seafood tacos. I can't wait to try the fish tacos. They seem to have a different take on it.

This place is sooo good! The tortillas are homemade. The aguas frescas are delicious and made with CBD. We tried the chicharon, carnitas, chorizo, and both the tilapia and sea bass fish tacos. Hard to pick a favorite because everything was incredible. Leave room for churros; they’re served warm and filled with dulce de leche!

The Birria torta here is so good! Definitely will be coming back to try the rest of their menu!

I went in to order 2 drinks and a sopes to try my first time there. The music was so loud the order was screwed. I ended up with 2 sopes (I only ordered one) two aqua frescas. One contained CBD which I did not ask for. It took a very long time when I finally got my order I figured lesson learned I will not come here again. Just as I get into my car they finally turn off their loud music. Side note $6.80 is way too expensive for one sopes.

Was told 25 min wait but turned out to be 45. Would have left if I had been told in advance. Will avoid.

Very good tacos, first choice grilled chicken, highly recommended. Chorizo burrito and quesadilla are good too.

Fantastic tacos.chicken, pulled pork, beef, lamb, fish, chorizo, veggie are all great.and burritos are fabulous too

It's a pretty cool spot for beer and taco. I had Korean bbq burrito which was pretty good.

Have you ever been to a new location, someone says "I'll bring you to a great restaurant, " and it turns out to be just ok? This had happened to me sooo many times before. So when I moved to SGV and my friend said there was a taco place I had to try, I was pretty guarded.

And then lxtaco Taqueria blew my mind.

Cut to the chase - the tacos are incredible. Is it that the meat is literally cooked and cut before your eyes? Is it the simplicity of the ingredients? Is it freshness of the tortillas, the atmosphere of camaraderie, or the fact that each taco is priced reasonably?

Yes. It is.

So whether you're going by yourself or taking friends, whether you're here for the first time or the 1000th (me), you won't be disappointed and you'll want to come again.

P. S.this is where I learned I couldn't handle habanero. Rest In Peace my mouth - and if the stand operators are reading, I'm sorry for concerning you the one time I tried

Amazing food and well-priced! The duck tacos are super good and they also have keto options!

Best Tacos ever! Great Customer Service. Highly Recommend! Always Friendly Employees! Love the veggie Mix tacos. I also love the fish tacos. Salsa is amazing!

Such an amazing collection on tacos and more. The calamari taco is one of my favorites as well as the Asada Taco Superior.
